Falling describes incidents where damage is sustained through free fall, most commonly through failure to make a check, being forced from a ledge or the failure of equipment such as ropes, pulleys or platforms. The table shown attempts to provide details for how much damage is sustained for different sorts of falls, depending upon the distance and what kind of surface is landed on.
